Bill Summary
A joint resolution providing for congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, of the rule submitted by the Environmental Protection Agency relating to "National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants for Coke Ovens: Pushing, Quenching, and Battery Stacks, and Coke Oven Batteries; Residual Risk and Technology Review, and Periodic Technology Review."
AI Summary
This joint resolution seeks to use the Congressional Review Act (CRA) to nullify a specific Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) rule concerning national emission standards for hazardous air pollutants from coke oven facilities. The resolution targets a rule published in the Federal Register on July 8, 2025, which addresses emission standards for industrial processes related to coke oven operations, including pushing, quenching, battery stacks, and periodic technology reviews. By passing this resolution, Congress would effectively invalidate the EPA's rule, preventing it from being implemented or enforced, and blocking the agency from issuing a substantially similar rule without explicit congressional authorization. The CRA provides Congress with a mechanism to review and potentially overturn federal regulations within a certain timeframe after they are finalized, allowing legislative oversight of agency rulemaking.
